Jonathan Rea and Hiroshi Aoyama have just finished a three day-est with the 2012 version of the CBR1000RR Fireblade at Phillip Island. Rea and Aoyoma will return to Phillip Island in one month for the start of the 2012 World Superbike season.

Arthur Sissis' impressive career in the Red Bull Rookies Cup has come to an end. Sissis, now 16, will be graduating to the Moto3 class where he will join fellow Red Bull rider Danny Kent on the Ajo Motorsports Team.

Last week, 11 new riders were selected to participate in the 2012 Red Bull Rookies Cup.

Another 11 riders have been added to the Red Bull Rookies Cup grid for the 2012 season. Over 100 of the best young riders around the world competed at Aragon this weekend over a three day test, but only the 11 best riders were chosen to join the grid.

Arthur Sissis was on his way to the Red Bull Rookies Cup Championship, but an unfortunate string of races has left the former season leader in a difficult spot as we head to the final round. With just one races remaining, Sissis trails Lorenzo Baldassarri by 6 points.
